Summary
DeMario Davis is back with the Jets for his third stint, turning 37 and still expected to be a defensive anchor—having racked up over 100 tackles for years, including 120 in three straight seasons. With the Jets’ run defense ranking among the worst in the league last year, Davis’ return makes sense, though it’s a tall order for a veteran to maintain elite production while covering speedy receivers and tackling bigger backs. The Jets’ linebacker depth behind him is shaky, featuring unproven rookies like Kiko Maugoa and Mykal Walker, which could push the front office to trade for another veteran linebacker in a late-round pick. It’s a risky bet, but with Davis leading the charge, the Jets are banking on one more strong season—or two—from their aging star.
